Area Info

Nestled between the popular surfing town of Jeffreys Bay and the quieter village of Paradise Beach, the Seekoei River Valley is a tranquil and scenic region known for its lush vegetation, diverse birdlife, and rich biodiversity. The Seekoei River Estuary, which lies just a few kilometres away, is a protected nature reserve, home to over 120 species of birds, including flamingos, herons, and kingfishers. It’s a haven for nature lovers and birdwatchers. The river itself creates a natural boundary between Jeffreys Bay and Paradise Beach, and the surrounding wetlands are ideal for canoeing, hiking, and photography.

Jeffreys Bay, located just a short drive away, is world-renowned for its surfing beaches, particularly Supertubes, considered one of the best right-hand surf breaks in the world. The town offers a mix of beach culture, local craft markets, seafood restaurants, and outlet shopping. It also provides convenient amenities such as supermarkets, medical services, and petrol stations.
